LDP Virtual Workshop: 8:00 - 11:45 AM
Design thinking offers the opportunity for surgeon innovators to tackle multi-faceted problems with relative ease. This session will break down the steps in the cycle of design thinking, from identifying a problem to developing a pitch solution. The iterative process of retooling solutions to match each problem’s unique challenges offers an opportunity to develop appropriate solutions with all stakeholders in mind. At this session, we will become acquainted with the tenets of design thinking, workshop through problems, speak with leaders in this domain such as Jeff DeGraff, Founder of the Innovatrium, among many others.
Agenda
- 8:00 - 8:10 AM: Introduction & Overview of the Workshop (Mark Cohen)
- 8:10 - 8:40 AM: Problem Identification & Needs Assessment - How to be more innovative. Topics include: “Is this a problem worth solving?”, “What’s the real issue we should be addressing?”, and creating early value in your innovation ideas. (Jeff Degraff)
- 8:40 - 9:10 AM: Overview of Design Thinking Process “The Clinician Designer” (Joyce Lee)
- 9:10 - 9:40 AM: Stakeholder Mapping & Value Proposition (David Olson)
- 9:45 - 10:45 AM: Virtual Design Thinking Workshop: Attendees will be assigned by preference to teams, each in its own Zoom meeting breakout room with 2 co-facilitators. Teams will do a needs assessment, define and scope of problem, conduct stakeholder mapping, come up with a few potential solutions/prototypes, and then narrow to best solution/value proposition. (Mark Cohen, Tedi Engler, David Olson, Bill Palazzolo, Dana Telem, Oliver Varban, Chandu Vermuri, Ton Wang)
- Team 1 - Novel Pilot Programs in Surgical Telehealth: This team will strategize and design a new pilot program to implement in surgical telehealth that will have cross disciplinary impact in surgical telemedicine that can then be shared with other departments and institutions if successful. Examples may include fast-track options for low risk diseases that can bypass preop clinic and get all their surgical care in a single in-person visit timeframe with everything else done virtually (pre-/post-op coordinated telehealth care).
- Team 2 - Addressing Disparities in Surgical Telehealth: This team will strategize and design implementable solutions that address some challenges with access/disparities in surgical telehealth in our state and network. Outputs of this group will then be piloted and implemented over the upcoming year.
- Team 3 - Implementing New Technologies for Telehealth: This team will explore and design implementation opportunities for novel technologies for surgical patients using telehealth, such as remote patient monitoring devices, healthcare apps, and Michart companion.
- 10:45 - 11:10 AM: IP, Regulatory Pathways, and University Resources (Tom Marten)
- 11:10 - 11:40 AM: Team Pitches - 5 min each with 15 min Q/A at end (Judges/Feedback: Chad Ellimoottil & Jessie Devito)
- 11:40 - 11:45 AM: Closing Remarks, Putting It All Together & Follow-Up (Mark Cohen, Ton Wang)
This event is for faculty, staff, and trainees enrolled in the Leadership Development program and is not open to the public.
National Public Webinar Panel: 12:00 - 1:00 PM
Panel will focus on some unique opportunities for how industry/startups/academic medical centers and insurance providers can work together to advance telemedicine. The panel will cover topics including how novel telemedicine technologies move out from or are better incorporated into health systems (i.e. artificial intelligence/machine learning, augmented reality, telesurgery, remote patient monitoring, and novel telemedicine and digital health technologies, including apps and app/devices). The panel will also discuss how telehealth partnerships can improve patient access, connectivity, disease prevention and monitoring, while advancing education and surgical patient-care.
Panelists:
- Drew Bennett (Associate Director Licensing for Mobile/Apps/Software U-M OTT)
- Jessie DeVito (Virtual Care Operations Director at Michigan Medicine)
- Chad Ellimoottil (Assistant Professor & Director of Telehealth for Michigan Medicine Department of Urology, Director of U-M’s Telehealth Research Incubator)
- Bruce Gingles (Senior VP Global Business, Translational Research, Commercial Regulation and Technology Assessment, Cook Medical, Inc.)
- Russ King (President of Method Sense Regulatory Consultants)
- Jonathan Murray (Senior Partner Draper Ventures, Detroit)
- Rachel Stillman (Associate, 7Wire Ventures)
